Chapter 50, Problem 6TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Sound-wave vibrations in fishes are transmitted from the skeleton of their head to inner ears. Within the inner ear, the stimulation of hair cells takes place by the movement of otoliths.

ear with labels colorful.png
a. amplify the motion created by sound waves hitting the tympanic membrane (ear drum) and conveying that to the labyrinth's little oval window, causing fluid to slosh inside the cochlea
B . move when the tympanic membrane (ear drum) moves, creating pressure waves in the middle ear that feed down into the pharynx and combine with sound wave information from our jaws
C. When the tympanic membrane (ear drum) moves, their mechanoreceptors are activated to send neural impulses to the brain about the sound wave intensities (loudness)
D. they equalize the pressure inside the ear to protect the delicate sensory cells inside the inner ear

The auditory nerve communicates with the vestibular nuclei to process information about the body's location b. Medial geniculate nucleus processes visual stimuli to locate visual cues associated with the sound c. The hair cells simultaneously process information about frequency as well as the location the sound originated in d. Lateral superior olives respond to differences in the amplitude of sound waves from each ear e.

He always loves watching a friend run with a sparkler and the momentary trail of light that seems to be left behind. Which aspect of our visual system best explains this trail of light? a. lateral inhibition b. microsaccades of the eyes c. persistence of vision d. achromatopsiaarrow_forwardWhich of the following are correct? Which one or more? a. Auditory fatigue is the increase in threshold after exposure to a loud sound. Auditory adaptation is a reduction in response of the auditory receptors to a sound over time followed by a steady state. b. The change in auditory thresholds is independent of the intensity, but dependent on the duration of the loud sound. c. Exposure to loud sounds is unable to damage the hair cells in the inner ear and therefore cannot lead to a permanent threshold shift. d. Auditory adaptation is the increase in threshold after exposure to a loud sound. Auditory fatigue is a reduction in response of the auditory receptors to a sound over time followed by a steady state.arrow_forward
